Remember the ‘darts’ from then that were made out of a sewing needle, a no.3 pencil’s eraser and some small 1/2” by 1/2” pieces of thin milk carton material for ‘fins’? No rubber bands, we just hand tossed ‘em and they stuck into just about anything, including tops of heads of kids sitting in the front of the class! Tossed from the back of the class, if the dart was arched high up into the air just right and the aim was good....thunk!!! (It would be ‘THE CHAIR’ for that sort of stuff today!)

What kind of school did you say you went to again?

I would never think of throwing darts or shooting clips or hair pins at anyone. They were just for bragging rights about how deep we could sink them into a non living target. We knew they could be lethal.
Did you go to school in the North?
